there's -- crashes is growing. there's one on route 355. there's another one, conclude enup continues northbound 301 at cedarville road and it's beginning to get very heavy on the interstates. 270, for example, coming out of frederick, it's going to be one long slow lineup right down to clarksburg before the pace improves in germantown. then it's going to be slow down to the point where the lanes divide. volume right now but no big incidents at least. let's take a live look outside. here's what it looks like on the beltway never kenilworth avenue and in prince george's county i'm happy to say all the overnight construction was cleared up a while ago. you're in good shape here. let's go back to the maps. this time over to 95 on the northbound side which has been good. heavy into triangle and dumfries with a water main break in dumfries northbound route 1 at wayside road. it will be there till 10:00 in morning. we'll end with another live look and here's what it looks like every day in spring field. andrea, mike? >> thank you, moen came. 6:02. the president is going to be in boston today to champion his

health care plan but the problems of the launch of the affordable care act has congress looking for answers. >> and today they'll be looking to the health and human sfs secretary kathleen sebelius for answers. she's testifying about who knew there were issues with healthcare.gov and when did they know it. ko im is live on capitol hill with more. good morning, ko. >> reporter: good morning, mike, andrea. this will be secretary sebelius' first congressional hearing. there is going to be a long list of questions and there's a long list of republicans now calling for her resignation. yesterday medicare chief maryland tagner was grilled by law makers. she essentially defended her agency's rocky rollout of healthcare.gov but she also acknowledged the problems by apologizing. >> i want to apologize to you that the website has not worked as well as it should. >> reporter: it's growing increasingly there there was not enough testing.

republicans are also calling the president a liar, some of them saying the president misled the public about individuals being able to keep their health care plans. now we're hearing that they might for the be able to because they don't meet the new requirements. but the administration saying that basically that people will get better coverage with these plans. we talked a little bit about this yesterday. this morning we found some sound of the president on the record saying otherwise. >> if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan. >> reporter: more and more americans are getting some cancellation letters in the mail, people calling this a broken promise. we'll see if we get clarification on the hill today and if we'll hear an apology if secretary sebelius herself. we'll dig a little deeper into what the president is doing about the affordable care act later today in boston. live on capitol hill, ko im, wusa9. >> thank you, ko. jacqueline mars, the owner of the mars candy company is

now facing a reckless driving charge after a deadly car crash in loudoun county. sheriff's officers say that mars was driving her porsche suv on route 50 near aldie on october 4 when she crossed the center line and hit a minivan. 86-year-old irene elliser, a passenger in that minivan died. mars is expected at a court hearing in december. jessica is back with news that could get taxpayers mad. yay, another reason. >> as if we need more, right, mike? good morning to both of you. this is a controversy affecting how the government is mishandling your money. the social security administration has been overpaying massive sums of money to disability beneficiaries and they have no one to blame but themselves. some disability recipients continue to get payments for months even years after notifying the agency they're working again and they earn too much money to qualify.

the government accountability office oversees the social security administration. it says budget constraints and large backlogs of applications have delayed the reviews of income information that alert the agency to remove beneficiaries. as a result a recent g.a.o. audit found the administration made -- get this -- $1.3 billion in overpayments in just two years. here's some good news. chances are your home is worth more money. around the country home prices posted the largest annual gain for the month of august since the housing bubble burst. the s&p index surged 13%. the recovery in the housing market continues to be strong helped by a drop in foreclosures but overall prices still about 20% below their peak of 2006. the taxpayer bailout of g.m. financial crisis known as tarp has left the treasury with a loss of $9.7 billion. this comes after the sale of nearly all g.m. shares that the government received in exchange for a

$49.5 billion life line. the government still owes the 7.3% -- owns a 7.3% stake in the company. if it was sold today we as taxpayers would only make about a quarter. taxpayers are still owed $53.4 billion. i'd like to get a loan. >> wow, no kidding, right? the government did make money on a couple of the investments like the aig one there was money made. >> aig had a massive handout where there was no indication they were going to get any money back from that one but there are a couple of dollars here and there being made gldz 53 billion is not shortchange. >> absolutely not. >> no chump change there. most if not all of us carved a pumpkin when we were kids. >> but one virginia man has turned this into an art form. it's beautiful. wait till you see this when

breakfast. these are crepes which are like indian pancakes if you will which are cooked on the griddle filled with the potatoes and served with a few connedments on the side, a little lentil soup and chutneys. >> a lot of people ask me all the time about the spices involved in indian cooking. i know there's always your garlic, your ginger but what are the other spices that are typically in indian food? >> besides those of course, we always use -- typically tumeric, coriander. without those, it's not indian food, doesn't have the fire and the light that really gives it that kick. >> speaking of fire, you always have the green chili. >> oh, yes. >> you can adjust that because everyone is always afraid it's really spicy but it doesn't have to be. >> it doesn't have to be too spicy. we try to moderate it for different clientele but in general you put a lot of chili powder. if you don't, we can remove that and keep it nice and basic. >> speaking of spices, we're

going to move over to kirk. typically indians like their beer and scotch to drink but now the trend is toward wine. so tell us what wines you would pair with this kind of food. >> absolutely. starting with whites, you're going to want more of an acidic fruit flavored white, a touch of sweetness which cuts through the spiciness of indian food which will go very well. we brought more of a reisling style. red wines, we want a lighter style red wine. you don't want overly tannic, overly oaky to kind of combat the flavors that a lot of spices that are in the different indian foods. we brought a blend which is cabernet franc based in virginia. >> can we try? >> absolutely. >> which one? >> we have our white. >> it's got to be pretty light with pretty generally speaking heavy food. >> absolutely. and the touch of sweetness will cut through the spiciness very,

showers, we've seen them. now we just have to wait for potentially a little bit of sunshine for the afternoon. here is your day planner. we are looking at reagan national now. good visibility. the air is a little damp and we're feeling the scattered showers this morning with some sunshine this afternoon, 65 to 70. i'll give you the hour-by-hour here. 58 degrees at 11:00. still can't rule out a spotty shower again between now and 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 but i think most of what we've seen this morning is going to be the bulk of it. by 1:00 some sunny breaks here and there and also that will be the case for the afternoon. highs in the mid- to upper 60s. southwest of town we could make a run toward 70 degrees in places like culpeper, even fredricksburg not out of the question. moisture this morning in the form of rain showers coming from southern ohio, west virginia, kentucky moving toward the east, southeast. so the bulk of this stays south of us. however, we had showers form right over us. it started out in eastern west virginia and northern virginia here in frederick county. the bulk of it has moved into frederick, maryland, now carroll and ears's of d.c.

watch -- areas east of d.c. in la plata a commof light showers there. that will come through eastern charles the next 20 minutes and across southern maryland, calvert county. more moderate showers now just north of where 50 and the beltway come together in prince george's county, back to college park. this is tracking up toward odenton and bowie and laurel. you have a few showers coming out of silver spring headed your way. montgomery county fairly quiet now as your activity has generally moved into howard county. the stuff in frederick has also moved into caroll county except the northern part of the county, thurmont. a couple showers left over there. temperatures are cool but it's the dampness. when you factor in the humidity, it just cuts through you. so 40s and 50s. i'm thinking a middle weight jacket this morning with 51 in eastton and 46 in winchester. 45 at cross junction from steve and jan in reedville 52. good visibility here at reagan national on our michael & son weather camera.

cloudy sky. we have 54 degrees and a light south, southeasterly wind at 3 miles an hour. the disturbance bringing us the rain on the wider shot. there's a frontal boundary here. that's going to try to lift to the north the next couple of days. on it there go the showers. by afternoon we're going to see sunny breaks develop. tonight partly to mostly cloudy. not too cool. should be in the 50 to 55 range with a spotty shower. tomorrow morning there's that front lifting to the north with showers in pittsburgh to detroit. then we watch the cold front get closer to us. spotty showers, especially north and west tomorrow afternoon and evening but i think most of the trick or treating is going to be dry. the bulk of the heavier rains will be overnight thursday in toward friday morning. we could have showers and potentially some thunder with the front and then some clearing later on friday behind that front. here's the forecast. today a couple of showers this morning. some breaks this afternoon. tonight 58. a spotty shower mainly north and west tomorrow night into

friday. by a yellow alert showers, 72. by saturday 67 degrees. turning chilly on sunday and sunday is when we say goodbye to daylight saving time and hello to standard time. fall back, set the clocks back. monika is excited about the extra hour of sleep. >> of course. hello standard time. we love that extra hour of sleep. you're not going to love what i have to say very much i'm sorry. but on the outer loop of the beltway it is solid from college park at route 1 all the way across into silver spring. the culprit is an accident at route 29 colesville road. it's along the ride side of the roadway and for some time was blocking the two right lanes. let's take a live look the at beltway at colesville road. this is what you should expect basically from route 1 in college park all the way around to silver spring. let's go back to the maps. and this time over to the northbound side of i-95. it's lorton, newington, springfield. the delay, it is incident free as you head northbound on i-95. if you're planning to head on to 395, you're going to be okay to the 14th street bridge. we're going to take a live look
